You can do either! I would say most people use the watch in tandem with their existing number. You'll just need to get the cell enabled version of the iPhone and by default it will be compatible with the existing number which sounds like what you are interested in!

So, the iWatch w/o GSM, of course it has to be connected to the phone in order to answer phone calls and receiving text messages.

I am talking about the iWatch with GSM.

This one don't have to be linked to the iPhone permanently in order to work as long as you get an eSIM.

The problem is what number is attached to that eSIM ?

What I heard is that it was a new number.

The point is, you need the same number as your cell phone in order to pick up phone calls or receiving texts while you are doing your jogging.

I want to know if that eSIM inside the iWatch can have the same phone number. Because answers I got was like a no, was different. And people needs somehow a digit number for it. Not sure why ? Issues to find a logic and getting some sense to this answer I got once.

What is the price for a wearable like the iWatch ? (I mean, per month for the service on the GSM version).

So, this is good news, same number.

But, since it's a data plan, this means in area with bad service (1 bar for example), where voice is working well but not the data (if LTE is not written, and you got 4G, forget about having internet working), that means the watch will have issues getting phone calls.

Sad T-Mobile didn't figure out how to set a second SIM with the exact same phone number, and data on it. Would had been more reliable.
